Duke Street in Dennistoun to close for a week from Monday 16 November

A section of Duke Street in Glasgow's East End will be closed for a week from 8am on Monday 16 November 2026 for carriageway resurfacing.

The road will be shut between Bellgrove Street and the midpoint of the junction giving access to the Lidl car park, on the boundary of Dennistoun and Calton, until 11.59pm on Sunday 22 November, the Glasgow Times reports.

Duke Street is one of the main routes between the city centre and the East End, carrying traffic to and from Dennistoun, Haghill and Parkhead, and is regularly among the city's most congested roads.

When is Duke Street closed?

The closure starts at 8am on Monday 16 November 2026 and is due to end at 11.59pm on Sunday 22 November 2026. That covers seven days, including the full weekend of 21 and 22 November.

What is the diversion route?

Drivers heading west are advised to use Bellgrove Street, Gallowgate and Melbourne Street. Drivers heading east should use Melbourne Street, Gallowgate and Bellgrove Street. Extra traffic is likely on Gallowgate and Bellgrove Street while the closure is in place, particularly at peak times.

Why is the road being closed?

The closure is for carriageway resurfacing as part of the City-Wide Avenues works, Glasgow City Council's programme to upgrade streets in and around the city centre.

It follows earlier disruption on the same road. The Daily Scot previously reported that junction works on Duke Street had been extended for a second time.

What happens next?

The road is due to reopen fully at 11.59pm on Sunday 22 November. Bus passengers should check with their operator for any diverted services and temporary stops during the week. Any change to the dates will be announced by Glasgow City Council.
